Faded florals have had their day, now bright, fresh, daring designs reminiscent of both the fifties and sixties are the true designer's choice. This look combines clean, bold patterning in the form of florals, stripes, spots and swirls along with swathes of strong colour. Forget those fresh red and whites of summer this colour palette utilises shades of vintage blue, green and pink, alongside splashes of yellow, burgundy and even purple or brown.
Stencilling makes a come back in the
form of naive simplified images. Forget that fussy shading
of the eighties, simply load the brush with colour and
get dabbing. Using a good quality acrylic paint will ensure
you create a great finish whatever surface you choose
to embellish. Set against painted furniture and floorboards,
add a host of eclectic accessories and you have a lively
yet liveable look, that is truly one for the individual.
